For those with an interest in ballet, a must see, for those without, interesting. The 20th century history and development of US ballet. Never able to make money, made and destroyed by it's personalities though maintained for as long as it was by it's talent.

apart from the volume(not deaf yet!)and a bored teen behind me kicking my seat i could not have been more entranced and wistful that so many of the people i loved could not have been with me to share it!!!
A most absorbing documentary. Thoroughly researched and sensitively produced. There are many poignant moments as ageing dancers reflect on their stellar careers. A must, even for those who don't love ballet. It is all about amazing people.
